ColdFusion 8 Update 1 is now available

April 4, 2008 12:01 AM

The anxiously awaited ColdFusion 8.0.1 release went live today on adobe.com.

This release marks extended 64-bit operating system support for Windows, Linux, and Mac. It also delivers the latest operating system support for Windows Server 2008 and Mac OS X 10.5, as well as updates to the latest FCKeditor and more. Read the FAQ to learn more.

You can access 8.0.1 in a few ways:

- Install the full kits from the adobe.com store or trial page

- Install the updater kits from the updater page on top of existing ColdFusion 8 installations.

Now I can stop replying with "verrrrrry sooooooon" in response to "When will Gemeni be out?"

If you're not a search engine, you should install Flash.

	Hi Kristen, Congrats on getting the updater out the door. There's just one small problem with grabbing it at the moment: Download link is still pointing to http://download-staging.macromedia.com

	Yup, bad download links.

	See what happens when we're so eager to get our hands on the latest bits ;-)

	This issue was resolved last night. Happy downloading.

	Well, I was excited about this and immediately downloaded the 64-bit version this morning, only to be dismayed when I read that it only supported 64-bit Mac-Intel! Unfortunately my system is a 64-bit PPC. What was the reasoning behind not support both architectures?

Unfortunately, there is no officially supported 64-bit JVM for PPC from Sun or even Apple for that matter. There are some open source alternatives, but we can't officially support a platform that neither the developer of Java, or the developer of the OS support.

Even on apples site, http://developer.apple.com/java/javaleopard.html, you will see that they say... in regards to 64-bit computing...
"On Macs with Intel Core 2 Duo or Xeon processors, this support is extended to Java applications."

Sorry! :)

	Ahh, that explains it! Thanks.

	Aaargh! After so much anticipation for the 64-bit version, the release notes are the first mention I've seen of the 64-bit version being Enterprise edition only - thus putting it well out of the reach of your average developer. Much like the crippled CFTHREAD in Standard edition - one of the features I was really looking forward to using in CF8, until I discovered the limitations...

	We've added support for ColdFusion Standard to run in 32-bit mode on a 64-bit Operating System and 64-bit Web server. So, while you may not be able to take full advantage of 64-bit with ColdFusion Standard, we do actually support the use of ColdFusion Standard on a 64-bit OS for the first time. That's at least a very big step in the right direction.
